You might be able to get some clues to this by checking out Process/Private Bytes, Virtual Bytes, and Working Set and see if any of the
processes there are leaking memory. However, since this is NPP, it is likely that a driver on your system is leaking memory and being that it is a
driver, may not show anything in the perfmon. A memory dump would probably need to be looked at to determine what driver is doing this.
In the meantime, you can start by updating the drivers on your system to the latest as one of the h/w vendors may already have released a
fix for it. If that does not resolve it, you will need to get a case open with Microsoft support to troubleshoot further. Thank you.

| Windows 2000 server sp4. Under Performance, System
| Monitor. The Pool non paged bytes is constantly climbing
| through the roof until eventually the server locks up and
| we have to hard boot the machine. Anyone with any ideas
| on why this would be happening and how to stop it? We
| check the process running and there's nothing out of the
| ordinary going on that I can see. The following is logged
| in the event viewer when this happens. "Event ID 2019 the
| server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged
| pool because the pool was empty"
